We are truly thankful that previous prayers have calmed your soul, and we are here to lift you up again in your time of need. We understand that you are facing a multitude of challenges, from feelings of unworthiness and loneliness to joblessness and immigration struggles. We also see you have been self examining to determine how your lust has contributed to your issues and stands between you and God. Your situation touches our hearts, and we want to address these issues with you in prayer and through the wisdom of the Word.
Firstly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. You have not mentioned Jesus or have not acknowledged Him as the way to salvation so we must mention this. It is only by Jesus being Lord and Savior that we can be saved. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse you from your sin. There is no other name by which we can be saved to eternal life. Rememember also that Jesus Saved you from your eternal sins not to have you live a miserable life. He wants to save you from your sins now. Jesus promises life and life abundant for you right here on earth. The Bible says 1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times"
John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.' "
John 10:10 WEB "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly."
Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!"
John 3: 16-17 WEB "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him."
Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast." We encourage you to seek Him in Jesus name and He will hear you.
Your feelings of unworthiness and dirtiness due to lust are not uncommon, and lacking healthy, godly relationships does make life more difficult. But remember, God did not create us to be alone, just as He is with us, we are made to be with others. However, He does want us to be with others in a godly way and to avoid sexual immorality including fornication. 1 Corinthians 6:13 WEB "Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body." However, every Christian is a part of the body of Christ and no Christian is beyond redemption if they ask for forgiveness and will turn away from their sin. The Bible teaches in Isaiah 1:18 WEB "'Come now, and let us reason together,' says Yahweh: 'though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.'" To avoid sexual sins continue pursuing your godly relationships. If you do not turn back to God, there are always Godly consequences to sin. God will not let you continue to sin and be blessed.
1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Your desire for a relationship is natural, in fact, God created this desire in us. However, we want to encourage you to seek ALL your relationships in a way that honors God. Our belief is that proper Godly relationships should be that of a man and a woman in marriage.
Genesis 2:24 WEB "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."
Your situation also makes it feel as though you have been abandoned by God, but remember, God's love for you is unchanging, and He has a purpose for you. Do not confuse what the other forces of this world are doing, stealing from you, and destroying with God making you suffer. Your difficulties with your immigration status and employment are real, and we want to lift these concerns up to God in prayer as well. If you do not have money do not be frustrated but trust in God for your redemption as though He is money itself as the supplier of money for you. If you do not have money in Jesus name trust God as though He is your money needing nothing extra. This verse describes taking care for God through anything including money.
Philippians 4:19 WEB "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Mark 11:24 WEB "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them."
Concerning everything you are facing, your guilt, your struggle with hatred towards your parents and others, we want to encourage you to come to God in prayer. Do not let the sin of hate dominate you.
Luke 11:9 WEB "I tell you, ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you." Rid yourself of bitterness and hatred. Let God be the judge.
Hebrews 12:14-15 WEB "Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord, looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it;" Forgive your parents. You confirm your own employment. Move forward and take responsibility for your decisions without blaming your father.
Romans 3:23 WEB "for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
Regarding your feeling about being bad. In Matthew Chapter 19, The Rich Young Man asked Jesus in verse 16 "Behold, one came to him and said, Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" Jesus in verse 17 "He said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God." Doing good things will not bring good things. This is an error in theology which is addressed in multiple places including Romans 4:4-5 WEB "Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed. But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness."
Psalm 145:18-19 WEB "Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them."
Beloved, we want you to know right now and every moment going forward that you belong to Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus Christ was resurrected and lives today, Christ lives in your heart, lives without end, and is glorious. Christ also lives in other devout Christians to share with you and help.
Ephesians 3:17 WEB "that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,"
Matthew 25:40 WEB "The King will answer them, I tell you most certainly, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
It is by His Blood that you will live eternally and have all the power to overcome every barrier.
Romans 6:10-11 WEB "For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
May God help you find the path He has laid out for you, and may He guide you in His wisdom. You belong to Jesus Christ. He is your family every day stand and believe every day constantly. Stay with the body of Christ. Live his way.
Matthew 18:19 WEB "Again, amen I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven."
This flagged post will be returned for review. We are sorry for your troubles, but please remove the name of the country and city where you live. The state of your past or current immigration status is fine to discuss.

Help them to treat their struggles as not from God. Remind Thuseria of the gift of salvation, the grace of God, forgiveness of sin, and no condemnation to those in Jesus Christ.
